Rep. David Grimes (R-Montgomery) will announce his decision to run for the Second Congressional District seat being vacated by the announced retirement of long term Republican Congressman Terry Everett at 10 a.m., Friday at the Quad on the campus of Troy University.

Grimes, a Troy graduate, had served in the Alabama House of Representatives for six years and has been a strong supporter of the conservative values found across the Second District.

A former insurance executive in Montgomery, Grimes serves on the House Banking and Insurance Committee, the House Commerce Committee and the Internal Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives.

Grimes, and his wife Barbara, have two sons, John David – 21 and Tyler – 17. They are active members of Trinity Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Montgomery where David serves as a Deacon.
